Florida Drug Trafficking Crimes

Drug trafficking is a serious crime in Florida and is punishable as a felony.
The penalties for drug trafficking vary depending on the type of drug
and the amount trafficked, as well as the criminal history of the defendant.
Individuals who have been convicted of drug crimes in the past will likely
be penalized more severely as repeat offenders.

According to the Florida Statute Section 893.15, the following rules are
in place to prevent and control drug abuse:

Marijuana: Trafficking between 25 and 2,000 pounds of cannabis, or between 300 and
2,000 plants, can result in a minimum 3-year prison sentence and a $25,000
fine. Individuals found guilty of trafficking between 2,000 and 10,000
pounds, or 2,000-10,000 plants, will receive a minimum 7-year prison sentence
and a $50,000 fine. Trafficking more than 10,000 pounds of marijuana may
result in 15 years in prison and a $200,000 fine.

Cocaine: Penalties for cocaine trafficking may include a minimum 3-year imprisonment
for between 28 and 200 grams, and can result in a $50,000 fine. Trafficking
between 200 and 400 grams may result in a minimum 7-year sentence and
a $100,000 fine, while trafficking between 400 grams and 150 kilograms
may result in a minimum 15-year imprisonment and a $250,000 fine. If an
individual is caught trafficking more than 150 kilograms, he or she may
face life imprisonment without parole, which is a first-degree felony.

Heroin: Trafficking 4-14 grams of heroin can result in a minimum of 3 years in
prison and a $50,000 fine, while 14-28 grams may lead to a mandatory 15-year
sentence with a $100,000 fine. Individuals found guilty of trafficking
more than 28 grams may face more than 25 years in prison along with a
$500,000 fine.

Other drugs, including hydrocodone, oxycodone, LSD, MDMA, and methamphetamine
are also punishable by law and can result in prison sentences between
3 and 15 years, or more, as well as hundreds of thousands of dollars in
fines. If you are facing criminal charges for drug trafficking, protect

she made a huge mistake due to financial hardship and attempted to shoplift.
She was caught and was facing 2 felony charges. With a year sober and
a steady job a public defender tried to get her a reduced sentence. She
made at least a half-dozen court appearances and had since moved out of
state but the prosecutor refused to budge. Our daughter had since obtained
her commercial real estate license and had become engaged to be married......"
